Chapter 83 The Arrival of the Tassel

Chapter 83 The Arrival of the Tassel

North District Base.

After treating everyone's injuries, Lan Su and the others took their leave because Az was still asleep.

Before leaving, the group left the holy sword behind.

This was a special instruction given by the newly awakened Daqin Temple. The great battle had damaged their holy swords, so they naturally needed to be properly maintained.

Go home.

Linghua took Yaz back to her room and helped her clean her dirty body.

Last time she got injured, Azu helped her take care of herself; this time it's her turn, Linghua thought to herself.

Only Lan Su and Ling Ya remained in the living room.

Both of them were exhausted and neither of them spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Lingya finally broke the silence, saying, "Well done."

"Huh?" Lan Su asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You did indeed do what you said you would, protecting Linghua with all your might." Lingya's eyes were somewhat complicated, but he still acknowledged Lan Su's actions.

Lingya saw both the upholding of justice and the protection of Linghua.

"Linghua has become strong enough that she no longer needs my protection as her older brother. From now on—Linghua will be in your care."

Lingya spoke these words with a mixture of relief and melancholy.

"Brother Lingya! How could you think that? We're family!"

"Mutual support and shared growth—that's what makes a family! It's not determined by any kind of power or influence!"

"If Linghua knew what you were thinking, she would be heartbroken."

Lan Su stared into Ling Ya's eyes, his tone more serious than ever before.

When he was first rescued by Ryoga Kamishiro, it was Ryoga Kamishiro's encouragement and help that helped him gradually emerge from his confusion.

Ling Ya was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized his mistake. He raised his hand and patted Lan Su's shoulder with satisfaction. "You're right!"

"Gurgle."

Just as things were getting a little sentimental, Lan Su's stomach rumbled at the most inopportune moment.

"Haha, I'm hungry." Lan Su scratched his head sheepishly.

Ling Ya smiled gently and stood up weakly. "Come on, I haven't cooked in a long time. Let's cook a meal together."

.

"Okay."

Lan Su nodded in agreement, and the two grown men, one ailing and the other limping, walked into the kitchen and began to tinker.

Two days later.

With Lan Su's help, everyone's injuries were healed, and even Yuri woke up from the Light Steel Sword and regained his human form.

Although Yaz has received treatment from Lan Su, it will still take about a month for him to wake up.

Lan Su underestimated the extent to which Yaz's body was overdrawn; she had even burned her mental energy along with it.

Outside the exciting castle in the North District, dazzling fireworks exploded in the frigid Arctic.

Inside the conference hall, a long bamboo raft was set up, extending from the staircase to the first floor.

This is a flowing somen noodle celebration they held to commemorate their defeat of the Lord of Truth.

The boys and girls changed into yukatas and entered the conference hall in an orderly manner.

Lan Su also followed local customs and changed into a black bathrobe.

When Lan Su and Rintaro saw Reika and Mei appear in yukatas, their eyes were drawn to the attire of their respective beloveds.

Linghua was wearing a sunflower patterned yukata today, which made her look very sunny and showed off her perfect figure.

It was also the first time Lan Su had seen Linghua wearing a yukata, and she looked completely different.

"How is it? Does it look good?"

Linghua circled around Lan Su, hoping to receive praise from her lover.

"Of course! It's gorgeous!"

Lan Su embraced Linghua's soft waist and praised her without hesitation.

"It's...it's alright, it's not that exaggerated." Linghua felt a little shy under Lan Su's intense gaze, and subconsciously brushed her hair aside, secretly delighted.

Inside the conference hall, everyone smiled fondly at the couple, Lan Su and Ling Hua.

"Ahem." In the end, Lingya reminded Lan Su and Linghua to be mindful of the occasion.

Linghua blushed and left Lan Su's side, returning to the girls' group.

Rintaro secretly glanced at Mei, and a strange feeling was beginning to form in his heart.

Mei glanced at Rintaro without making a sound, then continued to whisper gossip to Reika.

"Alright, let's begin today's flowing somen noodle party!"

Mei carried a large bowl of cooked noodles and led Reika and Sofia up the stairs.

"oh!"

"bring it on!"

The crowd below excitedly got into position, ready to compete for the first serving of plain noodles, and Lan Su was no exception.

"Here we go!"

Mei picked up the first bowl of plain noodles, which slid down the running water.

Rintaro, who was the first to eat, stood in the first position, but the somen noodles mercilessly passed by him.

Next were Touma and Kento, neither of whom managed to catch it.

When it was Lan Su's turn, he nervously swallowed, his eyes focused. "Now!"

Lan Su's chopsticks flew down, successfully scooping up the vegetarian noodles. "Success!"

Linghua had been feeling really depressed lately, and seeing Lan Su's genuine smile again made her lips curl into a smile as well.

"Oh, what a pity."

The others sighed and then joined in the competition for the vegetarian noodles.

The banquet ended amidst everyone's laughter.

Everyone worked together to clean the conference room.

Lan Su took Linghua's hand and whispered in her ear, "How about wearing this yukata tonight?"

Linghua blushed slightly and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Just as Lan Su was excitedly preparing to take Linghua home, an unfamiliar voice rang out from the corner of the conference hall, "Let's read together."

"Why?"

Everyone froze, turning to look at the strangely dressed tassel that had suddenly appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

-

Liu Su winked at everyone, staring at them with a friendly expression.

"I remember you're Liusu-san, right?"

Fei Yuzhen recognized Liu Su. They had met in the Fantasy Bubble a few days ago, and even earlier, they had met briefly in the Fantasy World in order to learn about the past of the Ancient Dragon.

Upon seeing Liusu appear, Yuri immediately explained, "His name is Victor, he is my friend, and one of the Origin People."

Mei: "So, you're over 2000 years old?"

Rintaro: "You're not an ordinary human, are you?"

Tassel: "Uh, um————"

Daqin Temple: "Why are you dressed so avant-garde?"

Tassel: "Avant-garde?"

The other swordsmen from the North District were filled with curiosity about the sudden appearance of Liu Su, as if they had discovered some new and wonderful treasure.

"Um, where's Luna?" Fei Yu asked excitedly. Since Liu Su had appeared, did Luna also come?

"Oh right, before that, Touma Kamiyama, I have something important to tell you!"

Liu Su finally realized that he had a mission to accomplish when he came to find Fei Yu.

"Is it important?"

Fei Yu was somewhat puzzled, but Sophia seemed to have already guessed.

The four people present—Lan Su, Ling Hua, Yuri, and Sophia—were all aware of some of the truths about the world.

Why do I always have this ominous feeling?

Lan Su had a bad feeling. Logically speaking, since the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence had been destroyed, Stryus shouldn't be able to do anything in the story.

If only Touma accepts the power, he can continue writing a completely new story.

But now—
